An absolute firecracker of a book. —Booklist, starred review

“Narrator Dion Graham’s soft voice evokes the tenderness between biracial middle schooler ‘Scoob’ Lamar and G’ma, his white octogenarian grandmother. There are many other moods in this audio as well, and Graham succeeds with all of them…The mix of humor and emotions, powerful writing, and complex lessons about personal and political injustices are all marvelously expressed by Graham in this compelling listen. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.” —AudioFile
